You don't have to be licensed to know when someone is mentally unstable.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
So who are the clowns who voted "no"?
Thanks for your input doctor...where did you say you got your psychiatric training and medical license again?
Oh that's right, you don't have to be licensed to know how to practice psychiatry....so you must be Dr. Phil? :doh
Do we really know any of these pols? After 8 years do you think you really know Obama, or after 20+ years do we know Clinton. Of course not.
Why is psychiatry/psychology unique for your argument? Should we not discuss history with those who aren't history majors? Can we not talk politics if political science was not our field of study?
Then who is he?
How do you know who you are voting for?
You don't. Same is true of any candidate.
Bologna.
He was Democrat before he was Republican. He was for the war in Iraq before he was against it. He was for gun control before he was against gun control before he was for gun control. He was pro choice before he was pro life before he was for punishing women for having abortions before he wasn't. He was pro keep-out-all-Muslims before he was pro keep-out-some-Muslims. He was for the war in Libya before he was against it before he was for it. He was for raising taxes for the wealthy before he was for cutting taxes for the wealthy before he was for raising taxes for the wealthy before he was for cutting everyone's taxes before slashing by a 1/3 of the proposed tax cuts instead. He was for allowing Dreamers to stay before he was against it before he was more flexible on the idea. He was against reading from the teleprompter until he needed to use the teleprompter himself. He was against special interests in politics until he needed donations by larger donors himself.
So who is "himself," Maggie? Who, and what, is the real Donald Trump?
Do you do any public speaking? As a competitive Toastmasters performer, I can tell you that the person in front of the audience is not "himself." He is a performer just as surely as if he was acting on a stage.
You don't use the information they give you in the form of how they perform? You don't think he should be judged by the things he says and does in the public forum? That he shouldn't be taken at his word?

Ohhhh, now the flip flop meme. Give me a break.
Not when you are trying to engage in character assassination in order to discredit a person without any factual basis, i.e. a documented history of a psychological disorder.
You don't ever truly know who a person is, but if I meet someone and right off the bat he makes fun of the disabled, calls POW's "losers" and says that all Muslims should be barred from entering the country, and seemed to be continually ignorant of even the most basic points of history, I'd be satisfied that I had as much information as I needed to hold absolutely no association with him. My life is hard enough without bringing degenerate lowlifes in it.

One could post a Poll listing the symptoms of a sociopath, currently termed Antisocial Personality Disorder, then allege Hillary Clinton meets many of the criteria.
Would that make it either true, or a valid issue in a political campaign?
If your life is hard enough, why do you waste time degrading someone you never EVER thought about voting for?

Are you really asking me why I'm spending time denigrating a lowlife who wants to be my President?

Yeah, I am.
Your media talking points COULD be spent saying constructive things about your own candidate instead of dredging up crap from the well biased media.
Because he has the potential to be the POTUS, and that will have impact on his livelihood (as well as the entire nation) if Trump ends up being president?
I didn't say that. I'm saying making a diagnosis that the man is a narcissist based on his speeches and ZPUBLIC performances is ridiculous. Absurd.
I agree, it takes a doctor to make a clinical diagnosis for a mental illness, but the man demonstrates many of the signs of being a narcissist. In his own words. That's what we are discussing. And no one needs to put words in his mouth or take things out of context. It's there on tape. In large doses.
If that's just him performing and not the real him, he's giving a great performance as a narcissist and he may want to change his act.
I think he's actually making an attempt to do just that.
I could list many powerful politicians and businessmen who exhibit some of those same traits. It is a side effect of power.
